Still 30 years and counting since Tiger’s experienced a thunderstorm.

That one they had in august last year seemed like it was pretty awesome, had a really good one up here the next day.

Looks like there was another good one in McMinnville 

The 00z Euro showed the storm near Eugene, it also shows strong storms here Thursday morning. Hopefully the entire region can see something nice

That was probably the best one I've ever seen in Eugene. I've seen much better ones on the east coast. DC, Atlanta, North Carolina, etc. Imagine lightning more than once per second. It was sweet to experience large hail for once though.

That storm around McMinnville had a lot of people talking on the Facebooks.

glad you asked.  Decent T-storm rolled thru about 10pm.  Pea sized hail, intense Lightning and Thunder.  knocked out power for about 10min.  not bad

Looks like two more afternoons in the 70’s is on the way (starting today), then another crash.

Bookmark this conversation for the next time someone goes into weenie mode next winter and starts talking about how only arctic blasts bust, never heat waves.

Picked up 3" of snow overnight. More expected today and tonight as well. That is now 7 straight months with snow here. 

[Phishy Wx]

There's even snow this morning in the Coastal ranges of CA (Santa Lucia mtns in Big Sur area)

I think there is an issue with lightning detection. The northwest face of Rainier has been going off there have been false detections across the state at around 46ºN

Beautiful sunny day here... low clouds cleared around 9 a.m.

[LowerGarfield]

Happy Tuesday. My wife was mowing our front yard today and she saw a mouse. She played the guillotine today...it was no accident.

I took a look at it on a break and it was def a mouse. Too small to be a rat, but a larger field mouse. We have lots of cats in our area and two indoor. Quite interesting.

Also blizzard conditions with BL rooted convective thundersnow up in the West Virginia mountains. Meanwhile highs have generally been in the 60s here.

Only 75-100 miles away. Different worlds.

+AMO is off the charts now. Analogous to the Pacific/+NPMM horseshoe back in 2015.

[Phil]

Trades/cyclonic flow should increase over the Atlantic during the next week as this -NAO pattern decays, so it’ll weaken some, but I suspect this +AMO regime is here to stay as a low frequency signal in 2023 (and possibly 2024 given post-niño circulation tendencies).

[LowerGarfield]

So far agree with the reports that today seems cooler than expected.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Interesting
